The Volleyball Academy will allow students from Grades 7-9 across the division to participate in an enhanced volleyball-specific program focusing on the skills and gameplay.

  • Volleyball Academy aims to foster a love of the sport in our athletes.
  • We hope to build confidence and resiliency through sport.
  • This program will be open to any skill level as athletes will be provided with skill development.
